"Nii Kanto Oberserber"
Special Homowo Prayer from the Diaspora
Awo Awo Awoooo
Agba e, Bleku tsoo
Esu esu
enam enam
Manye manye
Adiban kpotoor
On this day of Homowo, when the Ga New starts, we need to offer thanks to God that we have survived another year.
As I eat my Kpoikpoi and i will be going to the Round House on New Dover Street to partake of the feast at the special invitiation of Nii Oto Din and we shall defy the order`of the National Security Cordinator and make a public display of sprinkiing the Kpoikpoi so that the other living organisms that we cannot see with the eye will also consume some and be renewed for another year.
